There's an old Sunday School song that taught generations of kids that "the wise man built his house upon the rock, and the house on the rock stood firm." Biblical allusions and allegories aside, that's some fairly sound architectural advice.

The designers at Seattle's Olson Kundig firm, who built The Pierre house, must have spent some time in church as kids. Because this gorgeous modern home isn't just built upon rocks—it's built into them.

Unsurprisingly, the design has won a slew of awards, both on the local and national level. Next time you're building a home, maybe you should think about building on a rock. It'll have a firm foundation—and it can be damn good looking, too.
